For fit out builders and architects who are always on the lookout for innovations that simplify your work but also push the envelope in sustainability, you’ll find Autex’s wall panel glue alternative, SpinFix, is right up your alley.
Adhesive for wall panel alternative: how SpinFix is greening “make good”
SpinFix is an adhesive-free mounting system that uses clips to secure acoustic panels in place as a sustainable replacement to glue. Why is this shift away from adhesives important for sustainability?
Adhesives and material contaminants complicate the recycling process and compromise a panel’s reusability. SpinFx sidesteps this hurdle as part of Autex’s mission to create a closed-loop, cradle-to-cradle lifecycle for their products. Eventually, once their Take Back Programme is introduced in Australia, it will mean all panels and SpinFix clips can be used in other applications or fed back into the manufacturing process.
SpinFix is also made from 100% recycled PET, utilising offcuts from manufacturing that would otherwise become waste, further reducing ecological impact.
SpinFix acoustic applications
If sustainability is your priority, or you’re just focused on the top-quality installations and practical benefits, SpinFix delivers on both fronts.
Whether it’s office spaces, retail locations, or educational institutions, SpinFix provides an ideal solution for achieving excellent acoustical performance thanks to the 6mm air gap between the panel and substrate.
While adhesives are but a small part of a fit out, incremental changes accumulate and, in our climate, these choices matter.
Is SpinFix easy to install?
This is a question many will have on their mind, especially considering using glue is so easy. SpinFix installation instructions can be found here and is very straightforward.
The clips’ design allows wall fixings to mark panels for clip locations, and from here, the clips can be friction welded to the panel.
